Sleeping off his lunch 😌
Brooke still likes to rest his handsome head on his soft toys as a pillow so I always make sure to leave one in his crate for him (his crate door is open 😉) 🥰💙🩵💕

Puppy Kindergarten gradulation for Brooke and puppy friends at K9 Central last week!
Next up is Puppy Gymboree which we got a sampling of in this class, he loved it! Fluffy-boy Brooke is featured in a few of the clips in their reel! 🥰
Brooke grew up being introduced to obstacles and different surfaces and wobbly boards with our Puppy Culture program here so he was a little rock star in this class! 💙🩵💕

'Walk softly and carry a big cannon'🤣

Brooke got to take in the sights of downtown Cobourg today and had lots of fun with all the new sights, sounds, and smells in town 😀

Baby Brooke's first trip to the beach ⛱️ 💕
He met some wonderful children and gave them wiggles and kisses, walked on some sand and watched the waves tickle his toes then went for a little walk along the boardwalk.
What a perfect beach day 🏖

Trying again, sorry if you're getting spammed...facebook is giving me issues trying to write something plus add 3 photos!! Hope it works this time, and I won't write as much this time, lol. This is it..:
This is Brooke at 10.5 weeks! Yes we are keeping this sweetie pie!

Brooke enjoying his outing today...greeting people and sniffing merchandise at Home Hardware.

Then a trip to the town park to meet some kids, a friendly adult collie, walk on some playground equipment and just observe the sights and sounds of the park and the trains going by.

He took it all in stride, however, he gets carsick 😩😭 I really hope he gets over it sooner than his auntie Sienna did!

Brooke will be staying at Gracerok to see how he turns out, he stole my heart early on and I can't wait to see what his future holds! Updated pics and lots of Brooke puppy spam is on the agenda, lol!

Puppies starting to head off on their new adventures today and over the weekend! This litter has been the sweetest group of snugglers, smart and fun, pretty and playful, it will be sad to see them go but I will be keeping one as a memento, lol. ;-)
Grimm x Lyric 8 weeks (last Sunday)

Puppies pretty relaxed about the whole vet thing 😁🤣
Vaxxed and microchipped and not a peep out of any of them (they were too busy taking treats) I just love this sweet litter 💞💕💗

Puppy Culture time!

Puppies are 5 weeks old today and completed the PC Barrier Challenge. This helps them to deal with frustration by problem solving and boosts their confidence 😊

A desk with a view. 🥰
How do I get any work done???

09/06/2024

Four weeks old: wrestling, moving like little drunken sailors, climbing over the PC 'speed bump' challenge (rolled up towel), and just being silent scream cuuute 😍😍

Puppies are discovering each other and starting to interact with toys but mostly with each other at this stage 😀

ASMR volume up! Puppies getting the hang of this goat milk in a dish thing ☺️

We will be adding raw ground turkey this weekend.

PC startle-recovery protocols are done as puppies head into their first fear period and continuing a novel object and new sounds daily with classical music as background during the day.

This week we will expand their box and introduce a litter box as well as introduce treats, the clicker and raw bones (probably chicken necks)

Puppies' first meal on their own at 3.5 weeks 🥰 They loved their warm goats milk 🐐 🥛

I think I know who our first escapee will be..😂 Brooke is the first to do everything, just like his Uncle Chacha 🤩

A bucket of puppies 🐶 😍 ❤️ while bedding is changed.

Blankets on the x-pens are to prevent window and ceiling fan drafts from reaching the puppies. The open area enclosed outside of the box is mama Lyric's escape zone...very important to allow mama to be able to get away from the puppies to maintain a harmonious relationship 😊

Puppies are 3 weeks old today!! How time is flying !!! Soon I will be expanding the size of their box, maybe mid-next week they will be ready but not quite yet..

02/06/2024

Puppy Culture time: different footing textures (different sleep nest and new whelping pad) and today's novel object...a cardboard box. Let's see if we can knock it over and if it's edible 🙃😅

Milk coma time 😅💤
They are starting to get the concept of the sleep nest 🪹 💕
